resort, in bretton woods, a group of people met, and at that time the allied forces were fighting in normandy. and so the remarkable thing about the bretton woods conference is it happened while the war was still going on. china had sent a representative, of course, the uk, under the leadership of john maynard keynes and the 44 nations spoke about the most critical issues. secretary morgenthau said the goal was to create a dynamic world economy in which the people of every nation will be able to realize their potentialities in peace. raise their own standards of living and enjoy increasingly the fruits of material progress, for freedom of opportunity is the foundation for all other freedoms. for the past 70 years, that world order, the united nations, nato, the world trade organization, the imf, the world bank group, oecd, has helped to ensure relative peace and stability. and from the very beginning, the mission of the world bank group has been to help ensure that everyone has opportunity, what morgenthau called freedom of opportunity. the world bank's first mission was to fund reconstructio

my earlier memories of the mass jumps of the 82 airborne normandie at fort bragg. i've witnessed firsthand the transition from the con script military to the all volunteer total force of guard, active and reserve, and envisioned by the late craig. since desert storm, readiness has been the ability to mobilize and fight wars. that notion of readiness is a great place for pnr to start when assessing the quality of the total force. in my opinion, as the chairman mentioned, the department has too often been caught up in chasing the new carrier or fighter. there have been few champions for readiness to work with this committee. simply put, we need to get people back on the range and in the motor pools and prepare for the full spectrum of conflict, which now includes cyberand space. the threshold question is whether each decision made by the department enhances america's ability to deter and if need be defeat any enemy while keeping our soldiers alive and getting them back home quickly. when they return we owe them and their families the same level of care and attention.
